If you have ever considered losing weight‚ you have probably heard of the various kinds of diet pills available. Diet pills claim to "melt away the fat." They sound like the perfect solution to shed a few pounds‚ but research tells a different story. Diet pills became popular in 1996. The most common ingredients were Redux and fenfluramin/phentermine‚ which posed as appetite suppressants. The pills seemed to suck up the fat‚ and people were losing anywhere between 25-50 pounds in months. The FDA

Part I: Consequences Part I of The Weight of the Nation discussed the effects of the obesity epidemic in America. It immediately grabbed my attention when they stated that more than 18% of American children are obese. Two-thirds of America (or 68.8%) is overweight or obese. There is a strong connection between a high BMI and diabetes mellitus and hypertension‚ especially when accompanied by a high percentage of abdominal fat. I found it interesting‚ and important‚ that the first woman who shared

Experimental Determination of the Formula of Magnesium Oxide. Introduction: Magnesium is a mental‚ it is known to react with oxygen. Magnesium reacts vigorously when heated in the presence of air‚ which is why we have chosen high heat in our method to facilitate combustion. This oxidation reaction produces magnesium oxide gaining oxygen from the air. When sharing of electrons occur a chemical bond is made and the atoms combine to form a molecule. So‚ the predicted molecular formula:

oxidation-reduction reaction of magnesium and hydrochloric acid solution. We compared the experimental measured amount of a product and the amount predicted by the theoretical calculation of a balanced equation: Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g) PROCEDURE First we obtained a strip of pre-cut magnesium ribbon‚ cleaned it with steel wool to remove any signs of oxidation from the strip (which would alter our results)‚ and then weighed it (individual masses of the magnesium strips for each trial can

In 1939‚ a vision was put into motion with the creation of the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb was going to be the answer to the end of World War II and the final factor that would solidify the United States as a true superpower. With the creation of the atomic bomb‚ no one would stand in the way of the United States. The United States became the "New Rome‚" and with the power of the Atomic Bomb behind them‚ no other nation stood in their way. "My God‚ what have we done?" - Robert Lewis‚ the co-pilot

September 2011 ISOTOPES Atoms of a given element which have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes. Thus‚ isotopes have the same position in the periodic table‚ the same chemical properties and the same atomic charge. The simplest example of an atom with different isotopes is hydrogen. The three isotopes of hydrogen are shown here: The increasing number of neutrons in the nucleus of the hydrogen atom adds mass to the atom and thus each isotope of a given

The test tube with a side pipe was connected with a glass syringe. 3. About 3 cm of magnesium ribbon was measured out using a ruler. 4. The magnesium ribbon was polished using steel wool to remove any coating of oxides as magnesium can be a reactive metal. When magnesium is exposed to oxygen it reacts to form metal oxides. This step is necessary in order to obtain reliable results. 5. The mass of magnesium ribbon was measured and recorded using top pan balance. 6. Step 3‚ 4 and 5 was repeated

home. Last week on my home from Tampa‚ I was riveted to the Glamour article “The Secret Way People Are Judging You.” In this article they revealed the results of a poll of more than 1‚800 women revealing what they thought about women of various weights. From Glamour’s “Skinny Witch vs. Chubby Fairy” Heavy women were pegged as… All women--skinny or overweight--are being judged with characteristics based only on their size! “lazy” 11 times as often as thin women; “sloppy” nine times;
